Morning kewart, morning all !. Yesterday's persistent light snow finally seems to have died out - lazy day planned with the odd glass of wine when the mood takes. On a lavender kick at the moment with Gris Clair.

Happy Birthday Lucas

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Afternoon all, & Many Happy Returns to lucasai!

Yep, it seems the boiler problem has been properly fixed this time. On the previous two occasions, major parts were replaced, with only temporary success. This time, a tiny component containing a loose wire. For the first time in about a year, l can take a shower without the water going intermittently cold. Bliss! We celebrated with a few beers, which is usual for a saturday night, but anyway..

Hope the move is going well, mike. l agree with ExtremeK; unpacking & "depossessing" is my favourite part of moving, allowing one to start with a clean slate.

Having a lazy day & still unscented, will update later.

Good morning everyone -

I'm in Chanel Bel Respiro. Y'all have a great day!

Happy Birthday Lucasai!

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

I agree!

I'm testing Sideris by Maria Candida Gentile today. This is lovely incense-y rose. I'm picky about my roses, don't want them TOO rose-y and this is just right. The drydown is slightly sweet and woody. Very, very nice.

I hope you've been enjoying your special day!

I'm in Prada Iris Infusion again. This smells very similar to Ma Griffe on my skin, in the heart of it I mean. I seem to have really fallen for this one. When my mini is done, I'll...try the other versions as well, and then make up my mind! I hope everyone is having a good Sunday.
